6 years as Department Chair @WLUChemBiochem in the books. It was an honour to serve. Torch passed to the very capable @KenMaly1. I’m excited for the 12-month sabbatical that starts tomorrow.
Our retrospective on the development of a metacognition co-curriculum for introductory organic chemistry is now out in @FrontEducation. @WLUChemBiochem @LaurierTeaching frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
I’m very proud to be involved with the creation of the #VicSnieckus Foundation. Please visit our website to learn more about Vic and the VSF postdoctoral fellowship program. Thanks, @IncParaza, for making this possible. #alwaysacardinal @CIC_ChemInst @CSCOrgDiv
Paraza Pharma proudly stands as the anchor sponsor of the newly formed Victor Snieckus Foundation Fellowship Program, dedicated to honoring the legacy and passion of Professor Victor Snieckus by championing excellence in synthetic organic chemistry: victorsnieckusfoundation.ca/

In the leadup to #Thanksgiving, we wanted to look at the tasty world of kitchen #chemistry. Join us as we share some of our favorite food-related stories. If you're worried about hosting Thanksgiving dinner, fear not, these cool chemistry hacks are for you cen.acs.org/food/food-scienc…
ALT Infographic detailing the chemistry behind four kitchen chemistry hacks. The first is slowing fruit browning. Fruits brown due to the oxidation and polymerization of phenols. Adding acids, such as lemon juice, wrapping the fruit in cling film or otherwise blocking oxygen slows browning by reducing the activity of the polyphenol oxidase enzyme.

Join us on Friday, October 6 @ 3:30 p.m. in N1044 (Science Building) for a seminar with Amanda Bongers, Assistant Professor, Queen's University.
Can where you look explain how you learn? Studies with eye-tracking in Chemistry Education Research.
This is the field I played on as a kid but it certainly didn’t look like this! I’m so proud of the many volunteers from my home town who worked tirelessly to make this happen. Congratulations, @hawksdreamfield society! Thanks, @JaysCare, for your contribution.
